A rewarding day was spent ringing and tagging kites in the Clarach watershed yesterday as part of the programme of the Welsh Kite Trust to monitor the population changes of our 'National Bird'. Out of the seven nests checked - 4 had 2 chicks, 2 had a single chick and 1 had failed. This productivity is pretty good, as in general, the success rate has been somewhat lower over other areas of Cardiganshire.
